Corporation employees seek pay hike, protest use of waste management portal for attendance in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: Pushing for job security, fair wages and better working conditions, the Haryana Municipal Employees Union submitted a 21-point charter of demands to MCG additional commissioners Yash Jaluka and Ravinder Yadav on Tuesday. The union has strongly opposed the use of the Solid Waste Management (SWM) portal for marking attendance and called for withdrawal of the "no work, no pay" rule. Currently, sanitation workers' attendance is marked through the SWM portal, and their salaries are calculated based on the days they log in. TOI had reported on April 19 that a review meeting revealed that 932 of the 5,066 registered sanitation workers were not regularly marking attendance on the portal, raising concerns about payment delays and job insecurity. "During our meeting, union representatives outlined various challenges affecting municipal workers and sought swift solutions. We provided a patient hearing and gave assurances regarding the consideration and resolution of staff demands to the extent feasible," said Ravinder Yadav. Among the major demands were the abolition of contractual hiring for sanitation and sewer work, and the conversion of all such positions into permanent posts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo The union also urged the corporation to formulate a clear policy to regularise the services of daily wage workers, contract workers, and those hired under the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRN). Other demands included raising the temporary staff salary to Rs 27,000, reinstating terminated employees, re-hiring retrenched workers, and bringing fire services under MCG control. Workers also sought risk compensation, an equal pay policy, restoration of the old pension scheme, Rs 10 lakh in gratuity, better leave allowances, staff housing, and promotions for qualified sanitation staff.
